Seventh Heaven - an incipit snippet
Supplied as Full Score and individual parts
Three slightly more demanding quartets, in 5/4, 3/4+6/8 and 7/8 time.
This piece, the climax of which is shown here, wanders around the neck
and around the keys, but with an all-pervading melody which is
high up the guitar so that the sound is rich, from top D to bottom F#
at the same time, as we see at Rehearsal Mark H.
Earlier, the melody is the same, but a slower-moving accompaniment makes
the counting a little more fraught.
Not for the faint-hearted, but the joy of seeing an audience unable to
tap their feet to it is very special!
